Production

It was announced on November 12, 2010 that the third season would begin production without Lovato, due to her recovering from health issues. The series would be revamped to focus on the sketch/comedy/music-variety show So Random!, centering around guest stars, sketches, digital shorts, and musical performances, a similar format to Saturday Night Live.[6][7] Production of the third season began on January 30, 2011.[8][9]

On April 19, 2011, People.com reported that Lovato would not be returning for the third season of her series Sonny with A Chance.[10] As a result, the show was renamed and spun-off to So Random! and focus only on the sketches than the behind-the-scenes antics. As a result of Lovato's departure from Sonny with a Chance, the series is the second Disney Channel original series to have its lead actor/actress leave during the series' run (after So Weird), and the fourth Disney Channel series to have a main cast member leave the series during its run (with That's So Raven and Jonas L.A. also included).[11]
